As civilizations progress technologically, their energy demands inevitably skyrocket. To meet such escalating power ...

Often imagined as the crown jewel of future megastructures, a Dyson swarm—an orbiting fleet of solar collectors around the ...

A new paper explores this and concludes that a complete Dyson swarm outside the orbit of Earth would raise our temperature by 140 K. The concept of a Dyson swarm is purely a hypothetical concept ...

As civilisations become more and more advanced, their power needs also increase. It’s likely that an advanced civilisation ...

One explanation for the behavior was an alien megastructure called a "Dyson swarm." Now, that possibility has been ruled out. So, what's actually going on? To find out, scientists used telescopes ...

A photovoltaic Dyson sphere is a theoretical megastructure that could provide vast amounts of energy for interstellar space ...

Here the use of loosely coupled objects, in say a ring formation, could be in an orbit around the star, yet otherwise fulfill the requirements of a so-called Dyson swarm of independent structures.

A Dyson sphere would likely be a swarm of solar collectors rather than a solid shell. This "Dyson swarm" would be mechanically stable and resistant to damage. Dyson swarms could be detected by ...
